What the public PRs reveal

81 PRs · 15 repositories

Search window: – · captured Oct 14, 2026 (UTC)

Specific work you can inspect

Factory-AI/factory-plugins: “fix(droid-control): preserve evidence across automation workflows” (merged). Factory-AI/droid-action: “fix: fully redact long GitHub App installation tokens” (merged).

This is a sample of publicly attributed work, not total usage or a market-share estimate. Repositories are not customers. Attribution is declared in metadata, not independently verified tool execution; it does not prove exclusive authorship or autonomy. PR status is recorded at capture; merged does not establish correctness.

Method and audit data

Up to 100 most recently created search results in each of five consecutive 28-day windows; post-filtered for attribution in the PR body, bot author, or Codex branch. Not a random or exhaustive sample.

Returned records dated May 25, 2026–Oct 5, 2026.

Public GitHub commits attributed to Factory Droid

Public commits attributed to Factory Droid. Attribution is enabled by default and can be disabled. This text-search estimate excludes private and unattributed work; the separately measured PR count covers its hosted workflow.

Last full week (ending 2026-10-11): 4,387 signed commits (+77.5% week over week), search estimate.

Merge rate: 45% of its pull requests get merged (9 of 20 over 8 settled weeks, 2026-08-10 to 2026-10-04). The window ends about ten days back so recently-opened PRs have had time to merge.

GitHub review activity: 44.4% of its merged PRs had at least one GitHub review record before merging; the other 55.6% had none. This is a broad weekly signal and can include bot reviews; the human-review read below comes from the enriched PR sample.

Task lens: 632 agent-opened PRs. PRs authored by Factory’s own workflow. Local CLI tasks and reviews without an authored PR are outside this count.

Snapshot 2026-10-12, confidence Medium, tracked since 2026-06-09. Read the methodology.

Token transparency
Not published
Included usage
Plus advertises approximately 5x Pro usage; Max approximately 10x. These are relative allowances, not fixed token entitlements.
Overage path
Check current plan limits; local BYOK usage is billed separately by the model provider.

Retail Token Equivalent

The pricing page gives usage multiples rather than a fixed included token budget. Local BYOK follows the selected provider's rates.

Summary checked 2026-10-02.

Pro $20/month, Plus $100/month, and Max $200/month. Teams costs $60/month per team plus $40/month per seat; Business and Enterprise have custom pricing.

  • Plus advertises about 5x Pro usage and Max about 10x, under rolling rate limits.
  • BYOK custom models work in the CLI and desktop app, not hosted web or mobile sessions; provider charges apply separately.
  • Factory-managed cloud computers are included from Plus; check plan-specific access and limits.
